this explains a lot. there's no way he wanted H1Bs for their performance at Tesla.

US politicians have been trying to artificially uplift black people ever since the emancipation proclamation. the internalized guilt over slavery has always been strong.

I remember liking when saints row 3 did this, because you can make the most ridiculous character and it was funny.

it's no longer funny.

if that's the motivation, literally every state in the United States is a suspect. including California.

there are videos of people stopping by the side of the highway near the fire and throwing gasoline canisters into the fires path. arsonists are definitely involved, the big question is which arsonists? crazy people? local political actors? foreign actors?

I think I understand. I'm skeptical of the idea that people would barter with gold at the local level, more likely it would be with food, water, and fuel. that said, I can see the argument of using gold to buy into whatever new currency pops up, or any existing currency that is being accepted.

so lefties are apparently circulating a jpeg that is most likely completely fabricated, with no sources. seems familiar.

the only thing with gold is how do you liquidate it? the only places to buy are selling at over market value, and the only places to sell it are buying at under market value. it seems like there needs to be a catastrophic swing in value in order for the investment to be worth it.

first, I heard about that and it's wholly unethical.

however, show me where it says in Israeli law that a sterilized citizen is no longer a citizen, or can never be a citizen.

this whole debate is about citizenship after all.

it is according to Israel. straight from the horse's mouth:

For the purposes of this Law, “Jew” means a person who was born of a Jewish mother or has become converted to Judaism and who is not a member of another religion.

DEI seems to finally have a bit of a sour taste in investor's mouths in the West, so there is hope that the global reach will not lead to global infection.

all right, then let's take a hypothetical person who converted to Judaism. this hypothetical person lives in the United States, was born in the United states, and has never left the United States. this hypothetical person has therefore never been to israel, and never applied for citizenship to Israel.

per their law, Israel would immediately extend this person citizenship should they apply, but they haven't. Does that automatically make this person a dual citizen in spirit, regardless of whether they like Israel or not?

I would argue either a pledge of allegiance or an application for citizenship would be necessary in order to have dual citizenship, in spirit or otherwise. There is such thing as an anti-zionist Jew.

Apply this back to the original post, the claim is that you can look it up on Wikipedia to find their dual citizenship, but it is not so obvious on Wikipedia itself as demonstrated by Zuckerberg's Wikipedia page. it's important to get proper sources when making such claims, which I'm sure exists given how often these kinds of posts are repeated.

yes Israel would treat them with preference because of their religion, but they need the citizenship papers in order to be a citizen. until then they are not citizens.

it's spelled out in black and white, I don't know how else I can Hammer this in.

the levee in New Orleans was supposed to make everything fine. frankly I'm highly suspicious of the way that it blew.

LA was indeed built to burn, as evidenced by the terrible planning job done by the politicians.

but that's not what I'm arguing. I'm arguing that the source you cited about dual citizenship in the post title does not back your claim.

it's important that we are better than the journalists that inspired this forum, which means accurately citing sources.

what is the disagreement? that Israel confirms citizenship at the most basic level? because they definitely do. how else would somebody confirm their citizenship status without making a formal request?

-3
ApparentlyImAHeretic -3 points ago +1 / -4

you still have to formally request citizenship, which is the difference between immigration and visitation. you cannot vote in Israeli elections without citizenship, so I argue it is not basically the same.

Wikipedia, the source you cite, claims otherwise:

Israeli Citizenship laws Wikipedia: https://ghostarchive.org/archive/5fAg8

and I quote:

Any Jew who immigrates to Israel as an oleh (Jewish immigrant) under the Law of Return automatically becomes an Israeli citizen

ergo, according to Wikipedia, to be an actual citizen of Israel, dual or otherwise, you need to actually immigrate to Israel.
